2011 has been a year of healthy recovery for corporate travel. Booking numbers have returned to close to 2008 levels as companies display renewed interest and enthusiasm for travel, especially to and from developing markets driving global growth.
But recently, headlines have grown ominous: volatile stock markets, concerns about government debt in the US and Europe, worry over a double-dip recession. What can travel program stakeholders anticipate for supply and price development next year, and how can they best manage purchasing, costs and services in a volatile environment?
